Numerical control - Multi Programs

A production changeover in one minute ?
Now you can !
A new CNC option on DECO [a-line] machines enables you to define up to 8 component programs to be launched automatically in succession. The benefit: considerable time saving during the program transition from one workpiece to another. The machine no longer goes into standby mode until an operator transfers a new program and puts the machine into production mode.
The Multi Programs function also enables the production of different parts during the night, unsupervised. In this way, it is an excellent way of boosting your productivity.
Applications
This function meets the ever-increasing demand for small part runs. It is however limited to one family of parts that do not require a change of tooling (tools, grippers...) or material.
Availability
The "Multi Programs" option sold is available on all DECO [a-line] units with the exception of the first generation of DECO 7 and DECO 10. These machines can be identified by the fact they have no memory card reader on the CNC program transfer by RS232 only.
The "Multi Programs" function (option 7056) requires:
- An Ethernet connection. The component programs must be installed on the company network.
The Ethernet connection is present on all DECO machines manufactured since 2004. Update option 521629 is available for DECOs without the Ethernet connection.
- The shared tool catalogue function is only available on TB-DECO ADV (option 750-0005 + 750-0710). Versions prior to 2007 are not compatible with the Multi Program function.
